Detroit
Tigers posters look great hanging up around your party area.
The great thing is that they also make for awesome game prizes!
Have everyone make predictions as to the score after the third,
sixth and ninth innings. The person who guesses closest to
the real score gets to pick one of the posters to take home
with them! See below for online poster resources.

Hold
a raffle while everyone is watching the Detroit Tigers game.
Ahead of time make sure that everyone is committed to one
of the teams playing. Each time their team scores a run, hand
out raffle tickets to those guests. At the end of the party,
hold the raffle. In this way, even the losing
team supporters will have a chance to win the prize at the
end.

If
youve recently been to a Detroit Tigers game (or are
planning to go to one before you need to mail out your invitations),
use one of the programs to photocopy the front page. On the
backs of the copy, print out all of your party information!

Play
a game of Run the Bases! In a backyard space (or some other
space outdoors free from breakable obstacles) set out all
four bases (1st, 2nd, 3rd and Home.) You can choose whether
or not the bases are aligned in a typical baseball diamond
or if youd like to arrange them more random. The object
of the game is to run to 1st, then 2nd, then 3rd, then Home
then back to 1st again (repeating as many times as they can
in one minute.) Each player will get a point each time he/she
touches a base as they pass it, not just when they reach home
(otherwise the scores could be too close.) The winner is the
person with the most points after everyone has a chance to
run the bases!

As
the colors of the Detroit Tigers are midnight navy, orange
and white, consider getting these colors of construction paper
and creating a paper chain for decorating. This is an activity
that the kids can even get in on (and take over if youre
lucky ) They are simple to create - you can get creative,
too, on your color arrangement. For example you can alternate
colors or have several links of one color before changing
to a new color.

Sometimes
youll want to blanket a large space of your party with
their colors, but that can get pretty expensive. For an inexpensive
alternative, pick up a few rolls of cheap wrapping paper in
the Padres colors. These can be used to decorates doorways,
walls and even used to cut out giant letters spelling the
name of the team
